Arriva drives up bus fares

Bus company Arriva Yorkshire is revising fares with some expected to rise.

The changes started on Sunday, with some fares increasing by up to 10p while others remain frozen.

The all-Yorkshire zone multi-journey tickets, used throughout North Yorkshire, will be frozen at 2013 prices, including the day, week and four-weekly tickets. The online 10 per cent discount offer on all four-weekly tickets will continue at www.arrivabus.co.uk/yorkshire or via the Arriva Mobile Ticketing App.

Arriva Yorkshire regional managing director, Nigel Featham, said the company had applied the minimum increase possible. He said: “By capping any increase to the rate of inflation, we want to keep fares competitive and ensure travelling by bus remains attractive.”
